Serious: Steel Village - Iken and his personal guard make a move on Thunderian Peaks

The massive ship Nation of Steel has now been sailing for almost two weeks. Their destination was near, it only a matter of minutes now before they could get off the ship and onto land. With the massive ship, the crew could sail for much longer and still have an abundance of supplies left after their journey. As the ship cut through the large waves around the island, the lightning on the island was going off like Mount Rushmore on the Fourth of July. The lightning would have been somewhat of an entertaining show if the crew was just passing the island by. However this was not the case, Iken and his personal guard were all heading towards the massive island of lightning filled to the brim with giants.

Iken's personal guard consisted of the Elite Divisions Sangjo "The Screeching Siren" Bass, Holy "Molten-Man" L. Black, Goru "The Slime Doctor" Bakuchiku, The First Divisions Amanda K. "Lightning-Girl" Stepp, and finally Iken's personal pet Muso the Mythical Wolf. With this team Iken had confidence that he would gain control over the island whether it be through negotiation or force. The best of the best of the Steel they were not, however they were all the most loyal to the captain as well as powerful in their own right. Will their abundance of skills the team would be nearly unbeatable unless challenged by an entire army. With this force at his tail, it would make even a giant think twice before attacking them.

The closer the ship got to the island the rougher the seas became. With the seas and winds so rough it was tough even for the large ship to navigate. Luckily none of the lightning that struck, had struck the ship. Looking at Iken and Amanda it appeared that it was more than just luck that was stopping mother nature. Iken with his blade of lightning in his hands was directing all of the lightning bolts away from the ship. From the looks of Amanda's concentration she was doing the same or at least making sure nothing slipped through Iken's protection. A small thud told everyone that the ship had reach land. Picking up the massive anchor, Iken threw it over board with little effort despite it's giant size.

"It looks like we're here, now be prepared fro anything." Iken said staring off into the island.

Sangjo was weary after the ship docked. He hasn't been getting any sleep. Too many noises from this lightning. Only the comfort of his wine could prepare Sangjo for this journey. Out of all the lands Iken could have picked he settled for this one a lighting on it. Sangjo would have followed Iken into hell itself, but this place gave him the creeps. Sangjo stood next to Amanda "Well well even in a lighting storm your beauty shines bright enough to light my heart. If you you ever need someone to hold you for protection of the lighting just know that I'm here." Sangjo then walked over toward Iken "Iken this place is a death trap. What possible reason could we have of taking this place?"

(Amanda)
BLushing at Sangjo's Comment Amanda continued to eaily deflect any lighitng bolts that got to close to them. "Thanks for the compelment... Hmm looks like a nice cozy place...Not lol but seriously Why are we At Thunderian Peaks?"

(Holy)
Smiling at Iken Holy said happily. "This Place looks fun Iken Sama...WHow@!"
Holy's Liquid steel drew a lighting blot a foot away from his. Lowing his Devil fruit power Holy frown. "Guess I better be more carfull hehe..."

(Thuderian Peaks Schematic's)
The Entire Island is A moutain terrain. There are 10 Giant villages throughout this massive island. Each with there own unique way of life Such as Viking Giants, Medevil giants,Moderane era giants. Each village pretty much stick to the era of there leaders chooseing one wonders why they all have there own unqie ways. Well its simple they are all stuborn not willing to admit that somone else views are better or easyer. Each Giant cheiftan run there villages with brute force.
INbetween the villages are a varitey of Giant creatues that will attack anyone who is smaller than them.
One the Highest Peak is The Tempel of Light fuill of Giant monks and there Giant monk leader known for his Lighint abilites

Iken lowered the plank to the shore below inorder to get everyone off the ship and on the island. Walking down the wooden bridge it began to wobble under the mans weight a slight bit. Once Iken reached the solid rock of the island he took a long look at the large mountains before him. It was going to be a difficult journey to climb the tallest mountain first off. However Iken knew the most powerful man on the island was there. If he was going to look like a savor instead of a threat he would have to start at the top and work his way down.

Petting Muso on the head Iken smiled before looking to his crew. Iken signaled them all to come onto the island to join him. Taking the first few steps, Iken made his way to the mountain before them. The paths were easy to spot, since the giants were the ones to use them they obviously would be large. Following the paths the Iken and the crew he brought with him made their way to the islands tallest mountain. The mountain where the lightning hurling giant resides.

"Muso, keep the nose up in the air, Sangjo enhance the sound to listen for any enemies. Holy you'll bring up the rear, Amanda keep on the lookout for any strange electromagnetic fields, you'll be in front of Unholy. I'll stay beside you while Goru and Muso take the lead in the front. Sangjo will join Holy in the rear so everyone will be in teams of two." said Iken give his orders.

Sangjo opened his mouth send a high pitch yell throughout the air acting like an sonar to detect anything coming toward them, but since there was a mountain his pitch was bounced throughout the mountain making his predictions unpredictable. He continued to do this pitch for every ten minutes "Sounds like a good idea Iken, but can I partner up with Amanda? She seems like much better company than Holy no offense. Besides she is as beautiful as the ocean is blue." Sangjo continued to travel up the mountain with hearts in his eyes.

(sorry for being inactive.)

goru listened intently at his captains orders. he thought them over and glanced at his partner. looking at iken he said with a happy grin "seems like im finnally getting some action, and since im in the lead..." around the area while he sped up to take the lead with muso. unlike most of his life on the seas his trident was in his hand rather than on his back. climbing the mountin he was on full alert for anything that might, complicate ikens plans.

(Holy)
"You Got It Iken Sama. Holy went towards thee rear of the group watcghoing for enimes.

(Amanda)
Blushing. "Oh thanks for the compeltment Sangjo... Oh yes Iken Sir ill get right on it."
MOving into posion Amanda reflected the stary Thunderbolts onto the party

(NPC Power)
Near a ridge on the moutain watching Ikens Group a Pack Of Giatn Thunder wolfs Watched them Hungrily. (Note There Bacically Very Fats Giant wolves with a Lighting Bite.)

(Alpha Thunder Wolf)
The Pack Of ThunderWolf Charged Them from the ridge. About 10 in all. The Alpha leader of the Pack Sensed Ikens Athority and charged full force at him attending to snap his neck with a sharp bite.

(Thunder Wolf 1)
Another Jumped above Dangjo attempting to crush him with sheer size.

(ThunderWolf2 & 3))
Two WOlfs Charged Amanda. They didnt lkike her interfering with ther eperfect weather. "Thunder Soru!" Amanda was barely able to Keep away form the two wolfes going after her. She couldnt concentrate on Keeping the lightning away. Barely Dodging a Slash to her stomach Amanda Did her Best to Avoid these Two Giant Wolfs

(Thuinder Wolf 4)
Due to Amanda dropping her Powers to Defend from the wolfs 2 Thunder bolts hit Holy. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Damnit!" A Thunder wolf Attempted to Jump on holys Back to rip out his SPin.

"MOlten Steel Coating!" Coating his Body in MOlten steel the Giant Thunder wolve Arms and legs melted as he hit Holy's Body. Holy continued to controll the MOlten steel melting the Thunder Wolf Alive. It Screamed and Yelped in pain. However useing MOre Steel powers here drew in another thunder bolts. Upon hitting Holy he fell to one knee breifly and stood back up smoke arising from his body. "Goddamn this place to hell!" Holy started to supress all his Devil fruit powers Just to avoid being hit by those pain full lighting Bolts.

(Thunder Wolf 5)

(Thunder Wolf 6-9)
The Remaing Giant thuinder wolfes Charged the remaining crew members (If your bored just attack em.


(1 MIle down the Road)
A Giant Hobo sits at a Cross Roads.


(Meanwhile At Death CO)
HUgew cannons Shoots Strange giant cannon balls Aimed at Thunderian Peaks. "Initiante the Thunder eaters!"

With all of the sensory types in the group it was no surprise they were attacked by the wolves. Iken would have known they were coming for quite some distance. Muso they horse sized mythical wolf was no coward when it came to fighting other animals. In a blink of an eye Muso took off charing towards and unsuspecting wolf at great speeds. Seeing Amanda was in trouble Muso leaped at the second wolf attacking her. Muso wasn't about to play around at this point, he went strait for the kill, he went for the neck of the giant wolf.

Iken stood his ground as the giant thunder wolf attacked him attempting to bit at his neck. In a flash of light Iken disappeared leaving only his spear in the previous location. With the sudden vanishing of Iken's body at the last minuet the wolf's bit landed on the spear causing it to go through the roof of it's mouth. In another flash of light Iken appeared on top of the wolf sitting on his back. Pulling out his Rejection Slayer Iken put the point of the blade on the base of the wolfs neck where the brain stem and brain meet.

Wolves were by nature loyal creatures to their pack, allowing them to take down larger animals with ease. This however couldn't be done if they weren't smart and very intelligent creatures. The alpha of the species tended to be especially strong and intelligent allowing them to rule over the others. Now with Iken on his back and Iken's blade firmly pressed upon the back of his neck, the alpha wolf would have known that if he moved he would die.

"Now then, little doggy. Why don't you and your underlings join me? I for here on out will be your pack leader." Iken said sitting back on the wolfs back with full confidence the wolf understood him.

A decently large ship floated near Thunderian Peak, splashing up waves as it went. This ship was known as the floating honor. On the boat, a man with red hair, wearing Japanese robes, 2 swords on his side, one on his back, and 30 more in a pouch on his back leaned against the railing on the front of the ship, looking forward at the island
[Muramasa 'Blood Hair' Gideon]
[Swordsman and Captain of the Blood Hair Pirates]
[Bounty 25,000,0000]
Gideon looked at the giant ship that steel village had brought and awed at it. He hadn't been out of his home island for awhile, so he didn't know who the top crews were, especially in the grand line. "Huh, looks like we were beaten here" Gideon said "Think they will be friendly?" he asked himself, looking at the giant ship and sighing.

Musoi killed the thundwer wolf as his weapon peirced its neck

The Thunderwolfs stopped there attack watching there leader intentily.
The Alpha WOlf growled angrilly but thought that it would be best to yeild to this small creature. Making a low whimping howl to signify his surrender the remaing Wolves Lowered there heads And Laid down upon there bellys.

(Amanda)
now able to refocuse her lighiningt focused it away from them.
"Thanks Muso =)"


(Holy)
Smileing Holy looked at Iken. "Didnt know you were so good With animals Iken hehehehe"


(Meanwhile)
5 Giant rubber cannon balls hit the Thunderian peaks on the opposite side of Ikens group. STrange looking Cyborgs emerged from the Dust.
"BEeep slay all Pirates beeep!"

Sangjo let out a sonic screech causing the thunder wolf that attacked him to yelp back into submission. Then before the battle could conitue further. Iken had already beaten the leader of the pack. Sangjo shouted "Lets hear it for Iken the greatest pirate in the world. Horray horray horray!!!!" He took a bottle of his favorite and threw a toast for Iken's victory though due to him having the only source alcohol it was kinda of a short toast. "What should we do with them Iken? Should we let them go, or should make them into our pets?"

Iken looked at Sangjo as he spoke to Iken about the wolves they had just obtained. Putting his hand up to his chin, the man began to think about what to do with the force of wolves. He could always use them on the crew, the new ship was more than large enough for even giant wolves. However they wouldn't be very useful on the seas during a naval battle. With a few ideas in the man's head Iken looked back to Sangjo.

"We'll keep them, they'll be a valuable asset if any giants were to attack us. However after we obtain the island they'll stay here and guard the island in the name of the Steel for generations to come! But for now we'll ride them, it should make the journey much faster." Iken said removing the spear from the Alpha's mouth.

With the new alliance of man and beast the Steel Village continued down the path towards the hobo giant. With the aid of the thunder wolves, Iken and his nakama were able to move much faster than they were able to before hand. Making their way down the trail, Iken reflected lightning back into the sky away from any of his crew and the wolves. In moments the group came in view of the hobo giant sitting in the middle of the road. Coming with in talking range of the hobo Iken looked up into the giants face.

"Hello friend, we're heading to the Temple of Light. Can you give us any information on it?" Iken said this with a big smile making him look rather defenseless, however he never let his guard down.

The Dirty old Giant lifted his head towards Iken. "Oh me hehehhahahahha. Well sure little fellow ill tell you. The giants stomach growled in pain but he kept his smile at pointed a magot covered figer toward the highest peaks with an intence thunderstorm over it. Over there little human child hehshshshhehehee. I Hope your adventures bare you well.."

(Holy)
Looking at The Gaint Holy felt sorry for him. "Iken sama can we do somthing for this poor fellow I cant bare to see someone like this...."

(Amanda)
Looking conserned as well but maintained a serius face focuing the lightning away. It started to wayne at her stamina sence the lighting was nonstop. "We do not have time Holy... Iken lets hurry i cant maintain this controll for too long..."

Sangjo didn't like pets at the best of times, but he figured that Iken had his reasons taking in these beasts "As you wish captain. Yeppeee Kanyeee wolf"
Sangjo said as they rode off. They then stopped in front of a sick giant who gave them some information. Holy suggested helping him, while Amanda wanted to leave him. Sangjo decided to put his two cents in "We should help. I mean it kinda seems messed if he helped us, and we left him to die

"your right songjo." goru said as he put away his trident away and got off his wolf. generating a large amount of slime he used it to cover any and all the wounds that he could see on the giant. heating the slime up he quickly healed the giant in a matter of seconds. happy with his work he removed the slime from the hobo. smiling he wished the giant good luck before returning to the group.

Iken looked at Amanda as she spoke about abandoning the man that had just helped them by giving information. This made Iken shake his head slightly in disappointment at the words of this woman he considered nakama. He wasn't surprised when Unholy and Sangjo spoke in favor of the giant, that was the Steel Village way. They helped people, they were the protectors of the innocent, that was the whole reason behind the crew. Even the actions of Goru healing the giant before Iken ordered wasn't out of bounds in the mind of the man. Looking to Amanda with a firm look of slight disappointment.

"Your time under Unholy as his dog truly shows through ever now and again. We're the Steel Village, we help the helpless and protect the weak. I'm sorry you're used to being a pirate of the negative level, but we're revolutionaries trying to over throw the government to end the corruption and their radical ways. I know you're concerned about Holy being a royal guard of Salmanthia. However I wont allow you to forget your prince and yourself are both Steel Villager now." Iken said the last line before turning around.

Putting a bag down nearly the size of Iken himself, he sat it in front of the giant as a offering. Opening the cloth, it contained a large amount of food and bottles of liquor. This was only about a half of the provisions the small crew was carrying so Iken didn't feel any remorse giving it to someone in need. If the group did need to resupply later on they could alway go hunting or stock up in one of the giant villages. Now with their good deed done, the group began to move towards the tallest peak once again.

Hugo had just woken up from a very relaxing dream, having heard his captain outside the ship talking he stood up, and started taking steps towards his door. He was still hungry from not eating the 8 hours he was asleep, Hugo was confused how he even ended up sleeping since he himself Never sleeps... Looking back he remembered he drank some strong booze he found in the fridge. Hugo walked out of the ships cabin and ended up outside. Looking around he made his way to the kitchen, it seemed like last night he had finished all the meat as well.. he was left to go find his own lunch. Hugo walked towards the captain with a growling stomach.

"Hey Gideon, whatever island were going to is it ok if i eat a few people?" Hugo was hungry, 165-200 pounds of edible meat and nutrition seemed like a great choice as his first meal.

Hugo"Scartooth"
Bounty- 21,000,000

Gideon turned around, facing Hugo "I would say no but I was informed that they are all giants...so go ahead and try" he said, chuckling a bit and pulling a small book out of his back pocket and reading. "He hath eaten me out of house and home, he hath put all my substance into that fat belly of his: but I will have some of it out again, or I will ride thee a-nights like the mare." he muttered to himself, reading and quoting shakespeare.

(Hobo/ Head Lighting Monk)
As the Hobo watched the group walk away he smiled brightly. His Eyes Blasted with lighting power. "I See Our visitors are strong and kind I AM greatly pleased with this result I just hope they continue to prove themselves.

Surrounding his Body in lighitng The Leader of the Holy Monks blasted himself into the cloud and returned to his Temple with incredible speed.

(Holy)
"Thanks for your kindness back there Iken.. I know little of these lands but i heard a rumor of a village near to the west of here. Im fine with continueing to the temple though just thought id let you know =P"


(Amanda)
Continuing to angrily shock way the lighting bolts she was pissed at Ikens COmment. She didnt care about trivial things like helping stupid giants. She cared about the choas her country was in. She wanted to get this done and over with. Thinking to herself she thought. (That son of a bitch i did what i had to. Im not going to rest untill the peace of Salmathia is restored I dont care what has to be done at this point. There no going back...)

Iken watched as the giant smiled, however they soon moved on before anything happened. A dark and looming feeling settled over Iken, it came from one source and one source alone. It was Amanda, her ill will was felt bringing down the mood of the group steadily. It was a dark and hateful feeling, Iken had felt before time and time again. He got this feeling every time he had met a single person. That person was Derge, and if Iken were to prevent Amanda from becoming another lost one he would have to keep a close eye on her.

With that odd feeling aside Iken kept walking down the trail. This continued until Holy began to speak breaking the award silence. The jolly half giant seemed to be good at those types of things. This ability of Holy's was on Iken appreciated and helped at such tense times as the one they were currently in. Listening to the man he considered a good friend Iken nodded at the man's request. Going to a village before the temple wasn't the plan, however it wasn't going to hurt anything either.

"Fine, we can head towards the the village before the temple. Anyone have any objections to this?" Iken asked before giving the order to head towards the village.

"Nope, I bet if they are giants in that village. There must a few female giants there too, and I want to meet them. It must so hard for them not to have a man like me there to handle their needs." Sangjo said smiling on his thunder wolf ready to continue on the journey. His face turned red when he thought of seeing those female giants.

(Holy)
Smiling at Iken he gave him a jolley pat on the back. "Its setlled then heheh I hear these giants are pretty jolly i cant wait heehhee!"

(Amanda)
Deciding not to say anything she frowned as she followed her comrades.
"What the hell!" amanda sunndley consentraied with all her might.

A 1 mile wide thunder bolt barley missed the group leaving a deep casm in the group.

"I never seen lightin build up in the air like that and come down in such a mass before....." Amanda started to feel uncomfertable as she continued deverting small thunder bolts.

(Giant village Old Derkakery)
This village loves Viking century culture and embares it to the fullist. Claiming that there rich heratage is the best among all the giant clains in thunderian peaks.

Meanwhile the thunder eaters from Death co were heading to Old Derkakery at incredible speeds. Eating thunderbolts that would hit them and powering up there robotic bodies even more.


(Lilly)
Walking next to Hugo and Gideon Lilly gave them a puzzled look staring at the lighting lite moutain peaks. "Where the heck are we?"
Patches scratched his Head as well. Then chuckled to himself.

(OOC sorry thor For some reason i didnt know Gideon's crew had arrived i apoligise.)

((holy, can u do lily too?))

With the decision made Iken and his guard made their way to the village that Holy had spoken of before. With the thunder wolves the group made the trip in a short amount of time. As they were walking along, a massive bolt of lightning struck near the group. It created a powerful explosion and a deep hole in the ground. Iken's eyes widened in not only fear for his nakama, but in excitement as well. This island would make a glorious place for a last ditch base of operations. As Iken entered the village he could sense a disturbance in the islands usual electrical field. It seemed that something was taking in the electrical power that surged in the skies of the island.

"Everyone keep your guard up, something is coming. I don't know what it is, however I know it's something big." Iken warned his nakama.

The ship had finally landed, and Gideon looked over at Lilly "Thuderian Peak, I believe" he said, smiling "If we're not we have gotten terribly lost" he said, chuckling to himself. He then began climbing off the ship onto the land, and walking farther into the island, hoping to find whoever had owned the ship that was near there own, beckoning for everyone to follow him
